Industrial Sage Podcast with Ethan Escowitz, CEO of Arris

Danny:

Well hello, and welcome to today’s IndustrialSage Executive Series. Today I am interviewing Ethan Escowitz who is the CEO and founder of Arris Composites located all the way out in California. Ethan, thank you so much for joining me today on the Executive Series.

Ethan:

Yeah, it’s great to be here. Thanks for having me, Danny.

Danny:

Well, I’m looking forward to this and jumping into this episode. So for those who aren’t familiar with Arris Composites, we’ll start there. What do you guys do?

Ethan:

So we make products—

Danny:

Okay, yes.

Ethan:

…broadly. So obviously composites are an important part of those products, and the continuous-fiber composites that we’re able to produce have the highest strength-to-weight ratios, which is why they’ve been used so broadly in aerospace. But we’ve really enabled mass production of these methods that really started in these very high-performance applications for use everywhere in all kinds of different applications. And in addition to that, we can make complex products that not only have continuous-fiber composites but also other materials like metals or plastics or whatever is required for the particular functional requirements of a product.

Danny:

Okay, and just to set the scene here, how long have you guys been in business?

Ethan:

So we started in 2017, so we’re going into our fourth year.

Danny:

Okay, excellent. So we’re going to jump into a little bit more about Arris, what you guys do, some of the problems and challenges that you guys solve. But before we do that, I want to do a deep-dive into Ethan, and I want to get to know you a little bit more and for our audience to get to know you a little bit more. Tell me, how did you get in the industry?
